Abstract: A general method is presented for analyzing thick shells of irregular shape for mechanical and thermal loading, allowing axial as well as radial thermal gradients. The method takes into account ...

Abstract: A method has been developed for determining the thermal stresses resulting from an axially symmetric temperature distribution in an irregularly shaped cylindrical vessel. It permits the calculation ...

Abstract: A method has been developed which accurately predicts the thermal stresses and deformations in a nonuniformly heated cylindrical shell and has been applied to a steam generator membrane wall. ...
